Ascent Notes for: colemans crack - 5.10b Average Rating : 4.00/5

Beautiful crack, easy to protect. Felt easy for the grade.

I really had a great time on this route and was glad to have a shot at it. I had no clue what it was rated until after the climb was over. I got over the crux but had to rest shortly there after as i pumped out from straining too hard. The rest of the climb was a cinch. I really enjoyed it for the height and I totally fell in love with crack climbing from working this route. The crux is directly across from the beginning of the overhang roof on another route. Before climbing at Bellefonte i only climbed 5.8s and 5.9s but there is something about crack climbing that comes more natural to me and so i was running up 5.10s that day.

Great route. Finger lock to glory. Bring plenty of small nuts. A litte challenging to protect in the first part as many sections are very parallel and too small for cams. Ballnuts would be handy.

very fun, especially on the thinner part

One of my favorite crack climbs in the quarry

I slid down once on the climb, other than that it was really smooth, I was very pumbed before durning and after the climb!!! I am happy I got it this was my first time!
